nothing to worry about. so long as you include a standard <!DOCTYPE> tag at the head of your document, any good browser should be able to render your page without problem.

I love the conformity and strictness of XHTML. When I converted my first page over it took weeks, now I just stick to the rules from the start and I have very happy browsers!

I actually took some XHTML classes and there are certains types you can change your pages to. It took me a while and it was very annoying when I first started converting them. After it was done the site was very simple, make me think without all the additional jargon in the code it may be better for search enging to analyze your site. Maybe even better ranking?

it's a good thought, but i would doubt it. to increase my odds in a search engine, i just make sure to keep descriptive <META> tags, and to have a fully-formed header with all the important information.

I actually read an article the META tags do really a very small percentage in helping you get a top position. The position would mainly and primarily deal with the number of sites linking to your site and the keywords used in that link. Along with your Title bar and keywords, plus, too many keywords and small fonter (under 10) would decrease your chances and odds.
